▇▇▇▇▇ & WESSON BRANDS, INC. 2013 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

Performance Stock Unit Award Grant Notice and Agreement

 

 

I.

Performance Stock Unit Award Grant Notice

 

▇▇▇▇▇ & WESSON BRANDS, INC. (the “Company”), pursuant to its 2013 Incentive Stock Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), hereby grants to the Participant named below a right to receive the number of Shares set forth below. This Performance Stock Unit Award Grant Notice and Agreement (the “Agreement”) is subject to all of the terms and conditions as set forth herein and, in the Plan, agreed to by the Participant, and incorporated herein in their entirety. Each capitalized term in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to it in this Agreement, or, if such term is not defined in this Agreement, such term shall have the meaning assigned to it under the Plan.

 

Participant:

Date of Grant:                                                        Number of Performance Stock Units:           (“Target Award”)

 

 

Expiration Date:

             (“Maximum Award”)

 

Subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 3(b) of Part II of this Agreement.

Vesting Schedule:Up to a maximum of [          ] Performance Stock Units will vest on [          ], following the written certification by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), of the extent, if any, to which the following performance metric has been achieved. The performance metric is the relative performance of the Shares against the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2000 Index over an approximately three-year period. To determine relative performance, the baseline metrics are the 90 calendar day average closing price of each of the Shares and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2000 Index, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, with the first trading day commencing on [        ]. This 90 calendar day average establishes both the baseline Share price (the “Company Baseline”) and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2000 Index baseline (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Baseline”) against which future Share and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2000 Index performance will be compared.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

 

 

 

Next, the Compensation Committee will measure the 90 calendar day average closing price of each of the Shares and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2000 Index, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, with the last trading day of such 90 calendar day period ending on [ ] (the “Ending Date,” which establishes both the “Company Closing Price” and the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing Price”).

The Compensation Committee will then measure Company performance by dividing the Company Closing Price by the Company Baseline, with the quotient expressed as a percentage of the Company Baseline (the “Company Percentage Performance”). The Compensation Committee will then measure ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2000 Index performance over the same period by dividing the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Closing Price by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the quotient expressed as a percentage of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Percentage Performance”).

The Compensation Committee will then subtract the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Percentage Performance from the Company Percentage Performance, with the final result constituting the relative Company performance as a percentage (the “Relative Performance Percentage”).

If the Relative Performance Percentage is less than 0%, no Performance Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest. If the Relative Performance Percentage is equal to 0%, then 38% of the Target Award shall vest. If the Relative Performance Percentage is greater than 0% but less than 5%, then the number of Performance Stock Units subject to this Award that vest shall equal the sum of (x) 38% of the Target Award, plus (y) (A) the Relative Performance Percentage multiplied by (B) 62% of the Target Award multiplied by (C) 20. If the Relative Performance Percentage is equal to or greater than 5% and less than or equal to 10%, then the number of Performance Stock Units subject to this Award that vest shall equal (i) the Relative Performance Percentage multiplied by (ii) the Target Award multiplied by

(iii) 20. If the Relative Performance Percentage exceeds 10%, then the number of Performance Stock Units subject to this Award that vest shall equal (i) 10% multiplied by (ii) the Target Award multiplied by (iii) 20. In no event shall more than the Maximum Award vest.

For example, (a) if the Relative Performance Percentage equals 1%, then 5,264 Performance Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest (38% of Target Award plus (1% x 62% of Target Award x 20)); (b) if the Relative Performance Percentage equals 6%, then 12,533 Performance Stock Units subject to this Award

 

2

 

 

 

shall vest (6% x Target Award x 20); and (c) if the Relative Performance Percentage equals 12%, then 20,888 Performance Stock Units subject to this Award shall vest (10% x Target Award x 20).

All vesting is subject to the Participant’s Continuous Service with the Company from the Date of Grant through the Ending Date, except as set forth in Part II of this Agreement.

Delivery Schedule:

Subject to Sections 4 and 7 of Part II of this Agreement, for each

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Value Cap:

Performance Stock Unit that vests (if any) you will receive one Share, with the Share being delivered to you on [          ], the Ending Date (the “Delivery Date”).

If the Delivery Date falls on a day in which the NASDAQ Global Select Market is not open for active trading, the Delivery Date will fall on the next active trading day. An active trading day is defined as a day in which the NASDAQ Global Select Market is open for trading, excluding after hours trading.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will the Participant receive Shares on the Delivery Date (or, if applicable, the date specified in Section 4(c)) with an Ending Date Value in excess of 600% of the Grant Date Value (the “Value Cap”). In the event the Participant would receive Shares in excess of the Value Cap without regard to the prior sentence, the number of Shares delivered to the Participant will be reduced to the maximum number of whole Shares that may be delivered without exceeding the Value Cap.

The “Ending Date Value” means (i) the number of Shares to be delivered to the Participant on the Delivery Date (or, if applicable, the date specified in Section 4(c)) multiplied by

(ii) the closing price of Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the Ending Date (or, if applicable, the date specified in Section 4(c)). The “Grant Date Value” means (i) the Target Award multiplied by (ii) the closing price of Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select on the Date of Grant.

(b)

Forfeiture. The Participant shall forfeit any Performance Stock Units then remaining unvested (if any) in the event that the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for any reason, except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, which determination need not be uniform as to all Participants.

 

 

 

4.

Vesting and Delivery in Connection with a Change in Control.

 

(a)

Determination of Earned Performance Stock Units. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company prior to the Ending Date, the Participant shall, upon consummation thereof, earn the Performance Stock Units in accordance with the formula under “Vesting Schedule” in the Notice of Grant, provided that solely for purposes of applying such formula the definition of Ending Date shall be deemed to mean the date of the consummation of the Change in Control and the Company Closing Price shall be deemed to equal (i) in the event the Change in Control involves the acquisition of Shares (including through a merger or tender offer), the highest per share price paid for Shares in the Change in Control or (ii) in the event the Change in Control does not involve the acquisition of Shares, the closing price of the Shares as of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if during a Potential Change in Control Protection Period (i) the Company terminates the Participant without Good Cause (other than due to death or disability) or (ii) the Participant resigns following an Adverse Change in Control Effect, the Participant shall earn the Performance Stock Units as of the date of termination or resignation as described in the immediately preceding sentence, except that the definition of Ending Date shall be deemed to mean the date of the Potential Change in Control and the Company Closing Price shall be deemed to equal the closing price of the Shares as of the Potential Change in Control. The Shares underlying the Performance Stock Units earned pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be immediately vested and shall be delivered to the Participant in accordance with Section 4(c). Any Performance Stock Units that are not earned pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall terminate and the Company shall have no further obligation to deliver Shares or any other property for such unearned Performance Stock Units.

 

 

(b)

Vesting of Earned Performance Stock Units. The Performance Stock Units earned pursuant to Section 4(a) due to a Change in Control shall convert into time-based restricted stock units (the “Converted Performance Stock Units”) and such Converted Performance Stock Units shall remain unvested until the earlier of (i) if during the Change in Control Protection Period, the date on which the Participant is terminated without Good Cause (other than due to death or disability) or resigns following an Adverse Change in Control Effect and (ii) the Ending Date (determined without regard to Section 4(a)). The Participant shall forfeit any Converted Performance Stock Units in the event that the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for any reason, except if

 

 

5

 

 

during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated (i) as a result of a termination without Good Cause (other than due to death or disability) or (ii) a resignation following an Adverse Change in Control Effect.

 

(c)

Delivery of Shares. Subject to Sections 5(c) and 7, upon vesting of any Converted Performance Stock Units or Performance Stock Units, as applicable, earned pursuant to Section 4(a), the full amount of the Shares corresponding to such vested Converted Performance Stock Units or Performance Stock Units, as applicable, shall be distributed to the Participant (or, if appropriate, in lieu of such Shares, the stock or other securities or property to which the Participant would have been entitled to receive upon such Change in Control if the Participant had held the full number of Shares corresponding to the Participant’s vested Converted Performance Stock Units or Performance Stock Units, as applicable, immediately prior thereto) as soon as administratively practicable following vesting but in no event later than five days following vesting. In the event that during a Potential Change in Control Protection Period or a Change in Control Protection Period and after the Ending Date (and prior to the Delivery Date), (i) the Company terminates the Participant without Good Cause (other than due to death or disability) or (ii) the Participant resigns following an Adverse Change in Control Effect, the Shares that would have been delivered at the Delivery Date shall be delivered as soon as administratively practicable following such termination but in no event later than five days following such termination.

An active trading day is defined as a day in which the NASDAQ Global Select Market is open for trading, excluding after hours trading. Once a Share (or, to the extent applicable, other property described in Section 4(c)) is delivered with respect to a vested Performance Stock Unit, such vested Performance Stock Unit shall terminate and the Company shall have no further obligation to deliver Shares or any other property for such vested Performance Stock Unit.

 

 

(c)

Value Cap. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will the Participant receive Shares on the Delivery Date (or, if applicable, the date specified in Section 4(c)) with a value in excess of the Value Cap.

6.No Rights as Shareholder until Delivery. The Participant shall not have any rights, benefits, or entitlements with respect to any Shares subject to any Performance Stock Unit.

7.

Tax Provisions.

 

(a)

Tax Consequences. The Participant has reviewed with the Participant’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Participant is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Participant understands that the Participant (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

(b)

Withholding Obligations. At the time this Award is granted, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, the Participant hereby authorizes withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to the Participant (other than any amount constituting nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), including the Shares deliverable pursuant to this Award, and otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for, any sums required to satisfy the minimum federal, state, local, and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or a Related Entity (if any) which arise in connection with this Award.

 

 

The Company, in its sole discretion, and in compliance with any applicable legal conditions or restrictions, may withhold from fully vested Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant pursuant to this Award a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company as of the date the Participant recognizes income with respect to those Shares, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lower amount as may be necessary to avoid adverse financial accounting treatment). Any adverse consequences to the Participant arising in connection with such Share withholding procedure shall be the Participant’s sole responsibility.

 

In addition, the Company, in its sole discretion, may establish a procedure whereby the Participant may make an irrevocable election to direct a broker (determined by the Company) to sell sufficient Shares from this Award to cover the tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Related Entity and deliver such proceeds to the Company.

 

Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Related Entity are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such Shares.

 

8.Consideration. With respect to the value of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to this Award, such Shares are granted in consideration for the services the Participant shall provide to the Company during the vesting period.

9.Transferability. The Performance Stock Units granted under this Agreement are not transferable otherwise than by will or under the applicable laws of descent and distribution. In addition, this Award shall not be assigned, negotiated, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and this Award shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt by the Participant to transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate this Award, or in the event of any levy upon this Award by reason of any execution, attachment or similar process as a result of any attempt by the Participant to transfer, assign, negotiate, pledge or hypothecate this Award, contrary to the provisions hereof, this Award shall immediately become null and void.

 

 

10.

General Provisions.

 

(a)

Employment At Will. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the service of the Company or its Related Entities for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Related Entity employing or retaining the Participant) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Participant’s service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or would disqualify this Agreement or this Award under any applicable law, that provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable law (or if that provision cannot be so construed or deemed amended without materially altering the purpose or intent of this Agreement and this Award, that provision shall be stricken as to that jurisdiction and the remainder of this Agreement and this Award shall remain in full force and effect).

 

 

(e)

Performance Stock Units subject to this Agreement represent only the Company’s unfunded and unsecured promise to issue Shares to the Participant in the future. To the extent that the Participant or any other person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to this Agreement, that right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

 

(f)

Cancellation of Award.

(l)

Committee Discretion. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Committee shall have full and plenary discretion with respect to any actions to be taken or determinations to be made in connection with this Award, and its determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive.
